<title>DEPENDENCIES</title>
<p>The <c>public_key</c> application uses the
Crypto application to perform cryptographic operations and the
ASN-1 application to handle PKIX-ASN-1 specifications, hence
these applications must be loaded for the <c>public_key</c> application to work.
In an embedded environment this means they must be started with
<c>application:start/[1,2]</c> before the <c>public_key</c> application is
started.</p>
</section>
<section>
<title>ERROR LOGGER AND EVENT HANDLERS</title>
<p> The <c>public_key</c> application is a library application
and does not use the error logger. The functions will either succeed
or fail with a runtime error.
